Travel Note

Travel from Milan to Garda

If you are flying into Milan, there are a few options to get from MXP airport to Garda. First, know that Milano Centrale train station is roughly 1 hour from the airport. 1. Train to Garda: ItaliaRail.com has trains from Milano Centrale station to Peschiera del Garda. You can either grab a taxi once you land (this is a more costly due to the distance), or take a train or bus. Train: Two train routes connect Terminal 1 to Milan’s centre: the Malpensa Express and Trenitalia. The Malpensa Express takes 50 minutes to the end of the line and runs every 20 – 40 minutes. A one-way ticket to Milano Centrale costs € 13 (US$ 13.70) and trains run every 15 minutes approximately. Bus: The bus company called Autostradale has a permanent bus service that connects the Central Station of Milan with Malpensa Airport’s two terminals. A bus leaves every 20 minutes and it takes nearly an hour to get to the centre. The bus costs € 8 (US$ 8.40) per journey. Once you reach Milano Centrale train station, you can catch the train you booked on ItaliaRail.com. Make sure to provide yourself with plenty of time for landing, getting your bags, traveling to the train station, and catching your train. 2. Van from MXP to Peschiera del Garda: This costs a little more, but saves the hassle of switching trains/busses. Omio.com will allow you to search for options from the airport to Garda. This option is a van that groups people looking to travel to Garda and has multiple departure times throughout the day. Make sure to provide yourself with plenty of time to land, get your bags, and find your way to the departure area. Either option will take you to a central station in Garda and not directly to your hotel/rental. Once in Garda, you can take a taxi to your hotel, your hotel may have a shuttle service to pick you up, or, depending on your arrival day/time, Cory and I may be able to shuttle you in our rental car. If you want to see if we can help, please let us know your travel arrangements ASAP.
